Feature selection using ant colony optimization with tandem-run recruitment to diagnose bronchitis from CT scan images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) plays a vital role in the routine clinical activity for the detection of lung disorders using computed tomography (CT) images. It serves as a source of second opinion that radiologists may con...

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for breath phase detection and breath cycle segmentation.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: The monitoring of the respiratory rate is vital in several medical conditions, including sleep apnea because patients with sleep apnea exhibit an irregular respiratory rate compared with controls. Therefore, monitoring the respiratory rat...

Pareto-optimal multi-objective dimensionality reduction deep auto-encoder for mammography classification.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Feature reduction is an essential stage in computer aided breast cancer diagnosis systems. Multilayer neural networks can be trained to extract relevant features by encoding high-dimensional data into low-dimensional codes. ...

High-accuracy detection of airway obstruction in asthma using machine learning algorithms and forced oscillation measurements.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The main pathologic feature of asthma is episodic airway obstruction. This is usually detected by spirometry and body plethysmography. These tests, however, require a high degree of collaboration and maximal effort on the p...

A two-step convolutional neural network based computer-aided detection scheme for automatically segmenting adipose tissue volume depicting on CT images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Accurately assessment of adipose tissue volume inside a human body plays an important role in predicting disease or cancer risk, diagnosis and prognosis. In order to overcome limitation of using only one subjectively selected CT image slice to estima...

Modeling and control of operator functional state in a unified framework of fuzzy inference petri nets.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In human-machine (HM) hybrid control systems, human operator and machine cooperate to achieve the control objectives. To enhance the overall HM system performance, the discrete manual control task-load by the operator must b...

A study of EMR-based medical knowledge network and its applications.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Electronic medical records (EMRs) contain an amount of medical knowledge which can be used for clinical decision support. We attempt to integrate this medical knowledge into a complex network, and then implement a diagnosis ...

Subject-based discriminative sparse representation model for detection of concealed information.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The use of machine learning approaches in concealed information test (CIT) plays a key role in the progress of this neurophysiological field. In this paper, we presented a new machine learning method for CIT in which each s...

Ventricular Fibrillation and Tachycardia detection from surface ECG using time-frequency representation images as input dataset for machine learning.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To safely select the proper therapy for Ventricullar Fibrillation (VF) is essential to distinct it correctly from Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) and other rhythms. Provided that the required therapy would not be the same, an e...
